I love reading your blog. Its interesting and informative w/o being snobbish.I noticed u mentioned Cuerva’s mango torte. I’ve tried it but like the one made by Rita Villacorta much better. She only makes cakes to order and her no.is 7247309 ,if your interested. Anyway looking forward to more of your interesting blogs.
Sincerely,

Rose

My personal favorite among all Pinoy dishes is sinigang, but I don’t believe I’ve ever had it from scratch; my family has always made it with the packaged mix, and most restaurants, I believe, here in San Diego use the mix as well. I would LOVE to try a homemade version one of these days. I think I would have to attempt it myself…but where to find raw tamarind in San Diego?? Ah, research, research…

As for my other reason for writing, I am absolutely MORTIFIED that the passion fruit jam made it’s way to you. Long story short, other blogger didn’t read my emailed explanation in time and gave the other jar to her mom, who promptly opened it up and enjoyed it. Meanwhile, my mom and my brother scrambled to send you another jar, but the only other one they had had already been opened, and I told them not to send it. Anyway, I AM TERRIBLY SORRY! After all this mess…I forget that in Manila you have drivers to run your errands for you. Here in the States you have to do it all yourself! Anyway, had I known I would have just had my brother’s driver send it to you directly. OY VEY. Well…the next crop of passion fruit will happen this summer…will you settle for a jar then??? (Again, so sorry!)

Thanks for understanding,
Kim

KittyM, THANK YOU for catching that, it IS CRESCENT MOON and not BLUE MOON, I will change my comment above. dhayL, the bowl is from Lanelle Abueva as well. Shane, the table has a center piece of tindalo wood, with an edge in kamagong. The legs are made of tindalo. Chi, next time you are in Manila, you are of course welcome to a Pinoy lunch, just let me know what you are hankering for… for other readers, Chi is a classmate from 25+ years ago… :) xiao li, Cuerva’s mango torte, Petron station outside Dasmarinas Village Makati.
